Here is the form activity.

 

 

Now here is the logs…

SetActivityInputs: starting activity with inputs [<inputs><request><method>POST</method><postType>Form</postType><postContent /><postContentType>application/json; charset=UTF-8</postContentType><headers><name>Accept</name><value>application/json</value></headers><headers><name>Authorization</name><value /></headers></request></inputs>]

As you can see the value for authorization is empty.

 

The variable is set, but no matter what I do it refuses to honor it.

@christopherlecky 

If you are using a POST operation then Content-Type Header should get used.

If doesn’t work then please follow the below DOCs and try.

I tried content-type earlier, I switched to form out of desperation.If you look at the logs you can even seen that content-type is being sent.

Hi @christopherlecky ,

Just tried this in my lab. I wonder if your variable vCenterAuthString is not getting populated. If I run it I am getting the value populated.

 

SetActivityInputs: starting activity with inputs [<inputs><request><url>https://vcenter.lab.local/api/session</url><method>POST</method><postType>Raw</postType><postContent /><postContentType>application/json; charset=UTF-8</postContentType><headers><name>Authorization</name><value>Basic EncryptedUsernamAndPassword</value></headers><headers><name>Accept</name><value>application/json</value></headers></request></inputs>]

 

Thanks, Graham - Note: opinions are my own :)

It is, when I run debug I can see the value.
